Pantop IT Capsule (Pantoprazole 40mg / Itopride 150mg)

Pantop IT Capsule 10’s is a combination medicine used to lower the increased level of stomach acid. It treats GERD (gastro-oesophagal reflux disease), and peptic ulcers.

Peptic ulcers are sores that develop on the inner lining of the intestine and stomach.

Pantop IT Capsule 10’s is a combination of two drugs, namely: Pantoprazole and Itopride.
